Where the grass is green and the girls are nice to my face but I’m pretty sure they’re all laughing at me behind my back.

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

Today I want to tell you about the Brown-Stigler incident. 20th December 1943 these two pilots would be the centre of an episode that would last decades.

It’s a reminder of how completely unserious our nation is that we have a live illustration of where this leads in Minnesota and yet everyone pretends a Reform government is just an ok idea.
Suella Braverman, "There is a very strong case to increase the powers of any immigration enforcement officers that we deploy"
"At the moment they're hamstrung by human rights laws, by health and safety laws, by all sorts of needless and obstructive bureaucracy"

Labour in the UK and the Democrats in the US are both carriers of the same sickness, unable to access the energy and vitality of progressive causes because they accept the authoritarian solutions laid out by their opponents. An electorally barren and morally bankrupt position, untenable in 2026.

Hello! Lots of new followers the last couple of weeks, so I thought I'd mention some of the Bluesky-related stuff I've done. Starting with Swearsky, a website which reads out swear words from Bluesky posts in real-time. It uses my actual voice, not some AI voice model thing! Obviously NSFW.
